Pssssst, sparky...you posted that to yourself.

"If it doesn't involve bloodshed in the middle east, you're not interested."

Subliminal mistake?

"Just where does he state that you claimed you were in a kamp?"

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1141481/posts?page=163#163

Anymore questions?

Please try not to make them as superfluous as your last.

So hey there Kerry Poet, still going to keep on shuffling and avoid answering what majority anti-war "kamp" you speak for when claiming Conservative Americans who support the war are in the minority?

I know Michael Moore says the same thing? Are they two anti-war "kamps" out there that out number us?

In that post, he asks to know which camp you are in, but you refused the answer (anti-war). But nowhere in that post does he claim that you stated you were in a camp.

You don't want to talk about it, so he did.

Why are you ashamed of being anti-war?

re: I find that description of neo-conservatism particularly uncompelling.))

*snicker*...If you managed to finish this turgid, pretentious, ponderous piece of stale prosebread--much less be compelled by it-- I salute you.

I believe his friend Michael Moore wouldn't want him to reveal his affiliation...it might tarnish Moores gross image.

I save all that neo/paleo BS for those who need labels to try and justify either their existance or their prejudices.

People like the author of this article?

Did you see the post by Chamberlainbuff to himself:

"If it doesn't involve bloodshed in the middle east, you're not interested. But that doesn't make you a conservative, it just makes you some guy who is obsessed with the middle east."

Talking to himself third person again.

First off, asking which camp you're in pre-supposes you're in a camp to begin with (DUH!).

Secondly, I never claimed to be "anti-war".

I fully and still so our invasion of Afghanistan, but view the Iraq debacle as an unwinnable, expensive Neo-Con gamble.

If you must know, I am an anti-BIG GOV'T., anti-OPEN BORDERS, anti-OUTSOURCING, anti-TAX & SPEND. PRO-LIFE, anti-GAY MARRIAGE conservative.

Perhaps conservatives like me are now in the minority within the conservative movement as CWOJackson espouses.

A HALLMARK MOMENT

WHEN SAYING I'M AN ANTI-WAR DEFEATIST ISN'T ENOUGH.

I think you're insulting the intelligence of rocks with that statement. ;-)

Duh! You are in a camp. To wit:

Secondly, I never claimed to be "anti-war".

I fully and still so our invasion of Afghanistan, but view the Iraq debacle as an unwinnable, expensive Neo-Con gamble.

As far as Iraq is concerned, you are anti-war, and thus in the anti-war camp.

Your pitiful rhetorical gymnastics aside, when the question is IRAQI FREEDOM, you are in the anti-war camp.

And really, this Kerryesque BS is laughable: "[a] I never claimed to be anti-war...[b but view IRAQI FREEDOM] as an unwinnable, expensive Neo-Con gamble."

That's like, "I'm not opposed to the war, but here's why I oppose it."

That throbbing headache you feel is called 'cognitive dissonance' Senator Kerry.

Keep working at it. You might actually be able to form a complete and meaningful sentence one day....but then again, with the crowd you hang around with, not likely.
